Maintain reference to this in jQuery

I'm converting a bunch of hyperlinks to make simple GET requests using jQuery. I want to maintain the reference to this within the Ajax call, do i need to be using bind/live/something else?

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".mylink").click(function(){
        var url = $(this).attr('href');
        $.get(url,function(data){
            $(this).parent().html(data); // this is now out of scope
        });
        return false;
    });
});
Solution 
  • $(document).ready(function(){
    $(".moderate").click(function(){
        var $this = $(this);
        var url = $this.attr('href');

        $.get(url,function(data){
            $this.parent().html(data);
        });
        return false;
    });
});

    That should work for you.
